For the most part.Įvery now and then Black Butler provides us with a scene, or maybe even only a small moment, that massively contrasts in tone compared to the rest of the show.
For these reasons it should be a great watch for teens and up, and for the most part it is. Because of their unusual design I’m not exactly sure who the show is aimed at, but the majority of Black Butler is light hearted, silly, and devoid of anything remotely explicit. Whilst this sounds strange, it makes for a genuinely compelling anime, and I can’t stress enough that both Ciel and Sebastian are incredible characters. Admittedly the focus isn’t quite ‘will they won’t they?’, but the two still play off each other in an intriguing way, and watching their master/servant relationship play out is huge fun. The closets comparison I can imagine is Spice and Wolf (although in this case wolf would be a small boy) and both shows even use the same English voice actors the exceptionally talented J Michael Tatum and Brina Palencia. At its heart, Black Butler is about the complex relationship between Ciel and Sebastian.

Still, on the plus side he’s got an awesome butler with an awesome catchphrase.
Well, aside from the dubious ‘contract’ he made with butler Sebastian, and the unfortunate murder of both his parents. As you’d imagine, life is pretty great for Ciel.
Oh, and he’s also got a demon for a butler. He’s the head of a noble family, runs a toy manufacturing company, and lives in a massive mansion.
